Lying on the soft bed, Lin Muyu saw a longhorn beetle gracefully crawling on the edge of her bed. She couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Eagle Nest Mountain's campsite was indeed natural. This place was too close to nature.
Closing his eyes, he ignored the Heavenly Bull and slowly activated the Spirit Meridian Art.
In this period of time, Lin Muyu had shifted the focus of her cultivation from the Forging Dragon Bone Remnant Scroll to the Spirit Pulse Technique. This was because the benefits of the Spirit Pulse Technique were obvious. In the past, using the Two Luminaries Demonic Dance once would drain her soul energy, but now, using the Second Luminaries three times consecutively would not be a problem. After all, the Seven Luminaries Dark Force was her strongest killer move, so the Spirit Pulse Technique was the foundation.
Moreover, the Spirit Meridian Technique had even saved his life in Skysplit Tower. Lei Hong had said that the creator of the Spirit Meridian Technique was a madman, but now it seemed that the creator of the Spirit Meridian Technique was simply a peerless genius.
He slowly spread out his spirit sense. Even though he had closed his eyes, everything around him seemed clearer than when he had his eyes open. The Heavenly Bull was crawling along a grass branch, and above its head, a black spider was silently weaving a web. Winter had come too quickly this year, so much so that the animals were still too slow to go into hibernation. In fact, even after the snow on Eagle's Nest had melted, it was still green.
Further away, a group of Royal Guards were drinking and chatting. Lin Muyu could easily recognize their voices. Among them were Gong Xun and Xu Geng. Their tents were about 120 meters away from Lin Muyu, but the Spirit Pulse Technique was able to hear their voices. It was amazing!
"That little bastard, I must kill him!" Gong Xun slammed his wine glass on the table.
Xu Geng said, "Lin Muyu's punch was too fast, and there was a demonic power in it. My Battle Aura protection was useless against it. I don't know what's going on."
Gong Xun replied, "Only the heavens know where he learned this crooked method from. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been subdued so easily. If this matter were to spread to the Divine Marquis Residence, I'm afraid that the Divine Marquis would be disappointed in us."
Xu Geng smiled. "The Marquis has eyes and ears all over Lanyan City. I'm sure he knows by now. However, Brother Gong Xun, you don't have to worry. Lin Muyu has ruined the plans of the Marquis and the Little Marquis. The Marquis will definitely not let Lin Muyu off so easily. We just have to wait for the Marquis to send even stronger people to make things difficult for that brat. "
Gong Xun's rage hadn't dissipated as he said, "If it's possible, I want to personally chop off that little bastard's head!"
"As you wish!"
When Lin Muyu heard this, she frowned. She continued to extend her spiritual sense outwards, but she could no longer hear the voices of people. 120 meters seemed to be the limit. Any further and the voices would become intermittent and indistinct. She could not hear them at all. The Spirit Meridian Art rippled outwards layer by layer, causing his mind to be clear and his thoughts to be unprecedentedly clear.
He cultivated all the way until midnight. A wave of tiredness hit him, and he closed his eyes to sleep.
…
The next morning, when he woke up, he saw the Spirit Fire Division of the Eagle Nest Camp making breakfast in the distance.
Wei Chou respectfully said outside the tent, "Sir, the Eagle Nest Camp's rule is that there will be an hour of training in the morning before breakfast is served."
"Mm."
He got up, brushed his teeth and washed his face. There was no toothpaste in this world yet, so he used something called "tooth powder". It was said to be made from the powder of a plant, but the effect was not much different from toothpaste. However, washing his face was a problem because there were no men's skincare products like L 'Oréal in the mainland … Fortunately, Lin Muyu did not mind. Her skin was naturally good, so she did not seem to need those things. Zhang Wei and Wei Chou, who were uncouth, did not even bother to use tooth powder. They were very bold and their breath was fresh …
After rinsing his mouth, he suddenly felt a shock. There seemed to be people behind the tent!
He immediately unsheathed the Prairie Fire Sword with a clang and silently approached. With a sudden leap, he arrived at the back of the tent, only to see a few Royal Guards in white robes standing guard. Moreover, this group of people seemed to have been here for a long time. Many of their shoulder armors were covered in a layer of frost.
"Brother Chu Huaiyin?" Lin Muyu was stunned. One of these people was Chu Huaiyin, and each of them wore a golden dragon head emblem on their chest. That was the symbol of the Dragon Guards.
Chu Huaiyin was also stunned. He smiled and said, "Yu, you found us?"
Lin Muyu was confused. "You … why are you here? When did you come … "
"We came late last night."
"Ah, I didn't know …" Lin Muyu secretly regretted it. She must have slept so soundly that she did not even notice the arrival of Chu Huaiyin and his group with the Spirit Meridian Art.
There were a total of ten Dragon Guards, including Chu Huaiyin.
Lin Muyu asked, "Brother Chu Huaiyin, this is the Eagle Nest Camp. Why are you here? Shouldn't you be protecting His Majesty and Her Highness Yin at Ze Tian Palace?"
Chu Huaiyin brushed off the frost on his shoulders and smiled. "Yesterday, Zhen Yifan attacked the Royal Guards and killed the Deputy Commander Rong Hanyuan. This is the first time he has provoked the Royal Guards, and there will definitely be a second time. Commander Qin Lei thinks that Zhen Yifan's next target is likely to be you, so he asked me to lead the nine Dragon Guards to secretly protect you. I didn't expect you to still find out …"
Lin Muyu was grateful and terrified at the same time. She said, "But it's too hard for you to stay here. Brother Chu Huaiyin, bring everyone back to Ze Tian Palace. I'm very safe here. There are 70 Eagle Guards from the Eagle Nest Camp and hundreds of Royal Guards. It won't be easy for Zeng Yifan to touch me."
"Haha, you don't have to make things difficult for me." Chu Huaiyin smiled and said, "You know Qin Lei's temper. Once he has set his mind on something, he will definitely do it to the end. He has sent us to protect you until the day of the Winter Sacrifice Ceremony. There are still three days left. Don't make things difficult for me, just let us follow you."
"Alright then …"
Lin Muyu had a helpless look on her face. She could only accept this favor.
… …
She participated in the morning training. The Eagle Nest Camp's morning training was very simple. She practiced riding, swordsmanship, saber skills, and archery. After spending so many days in Lanyan City, although Lin Muyu's riding skills couldn't be said to be extraordinary, it was still considered first-rate. In terms of swordsmanship, her four-elemental sword kinesis could be said to be the best, so she didn't need much training. Her saber skills were average, and as for archery … she still needed to learn it from Wei Chou.
"Tuk, tuk, tuk!"
The sound of horse hooves reverberated throughout the training grounds. Wei Qiu was riding on a warhorse. He opened his palm and took out three arrows from his quiver. "Pa, pa, pa!" He shot three arrows consecutively, hitting three targets. This brat was not only good at fixed-point archery, but his mounted archery was also considered outstanding in the Eagle Nest Camp. For a moment, the onlookers all cheered. Even Chu Huaiying raised his sword and cheered loudly.
When it was Lin Muyu's turn, she charged forward on her warhorse. At the same time, she raised her Treasured Carving Bow and shot one arrow after another. You can't become fat in one bite!
"Buzz!"
She channeled her battle qi into the arrow, and in the next moment, the arrow left the bowstring!
"Whoosh!"
The arrow didn't hit the target. Everyone laughed, but in the next moment, the arrow hit a large tree that was about half a meter in diameter. "Peng!" The large tree fell, and everyone's whispers stopped. Although the accuracy wasn't high enough, the explosive power was top-notch.
Commander Meng Fang had a look of helplessness on his face as he said, "Lady Lin Muyu's archery skills … are really eye-opening!"
Lin Muyu lowered her head and didn't say anything. This kind of thing was really too embarrassing …
…
After breakfast, it was time for the Eagle Nest Camp's daily training. After lunch, it was finally free time.
Lin Muyu led Wei Chou and the other 10 Royal Guards and 30 Royal Guards down the mountain to purchase supplies. Chu Huaiyin and the other 10 Dragon Guards followed them from afar. The Dragon Guards had always been proud. They were a group of sacred existences that protected the Emperor and the Princess. But now, they were actually protecting an Eagle Guard. This kind of thing was really amazing.
As he watched the group go down the mountain, Commander Meng Fang shook his head and sighed. "What kind of world is this? I don't understand it anymore …"
…
On the way down the mountain, Lin Muyu looked through her bag of spirit stones. She realized that apart from the spirit stones she had handed over, there were still some spirit stones left. There were two 4,000-year-old stone type spirit stones, one 5,000-year-old fire type spirit stone, and a 5,100-year-old Thorn Demon poison type spirit stone. These spirit stones seemed to be able to be used to forge decent weapons. She then looked through her bag of money and saw that there were only two diamond coins left. She was really poor. This amount of money was not enough to purchase enough military supplies for the 110 soldiers under her command. She had to make a trip to the Imperial Business Firm!
After entering the Imperial Capital, it was still bustling as usual along the way.
When they arrived at the Imperial Business Firm, only Wei Chou was brought in. The rest of the people stood guard outside.
Lin Muyu was wearing the Holy Temple's battle robe, while Wei Chou was wearing the Royal Guards' armor. They were very eye-catching. Fortunately, the supervisor on duty recognized Lin Muyu. He immediately came forward and smiled. "Sir Lin Zhi, you are finally here. Are you looking for Miss Xiaotang?"
"Yes. Also, don't call me Lin Zhi. Call me Lin Muyu!"
"Okay."
A few minutes later, Jin Xiaotang walked out of the inner hall with an excited expression. Seeing Lin Muyu was like seeing a business opportunity. She did not hide her excitement at all. She walked up and grabbed Lin Muyu's arm. She smiled and said, "Sir Lin Zhi, you haven't come for a long time. Do you know that Xiaotang has been anxiously waiting for you? No, I should call you Sir Lin Muyu now … "
The Imperial Business Firm was indeed omnipotent. Nothing could be hidden from them. Jin Xiaotang must have seen through everything about him.
Lin Muyu nodded with a smile. "Aren't I here now?"
As he said this, he felt that something was wrong. He felt that this kind of conversation was a bit like the conversation between a prostitute and the madam of a brothel in ancient times. He looked down and saw the excitement on Jin Xiaotang's beautiful face. He immediately felt a sense of guilt. If Third Fatty Jin knew that he was thinking of his daughter like this, he would definitely fight with his life!
